She complains about a Leftist takeover of institutions despite the Tories being in power for 32 of the last 46 years. She’s unhinged.

It’s the Acosta hangover. For the past few years we’ve played a high pressing game with sideways passing in possession because that was the best way to get the ball to Acosta in the final third where he could do something magical. It doesn’t work with Evander who has a different style of play.

@scaramucci.bsky.social Trump looked very awkward when Starmer gave him the King’s letter to read and then asked the PM to say what was in it. Does he have trouble reading?

The underlying issue, which he misses entirely, is that the MLS academy system is very poor compared with those in other countries. The foreigners coming to US colleges aren’t even the best from their academies - the top players will already be signed to clubs.

Good. It was always a waste of time. Hopefully this is the beginning of the end for it.
